Looking out of the window at a typical mid-winter sunset. Clear duck-egg blue dark sky fading into the orange-gold of the setting sun, showing up the silhouettes of trees and buildings on the city skyline - and knowing that it's bloomin' freezing outside!

Yes it's freezing here as well Aileen. Glad I am in the house just back from walking my daughter's dogs a pup she is about 14 weeks old and her other dog a male both cairns. The pup keeps sitting down she is not used to walking on a lead so I ended up lifting her. She has just been chasing my cats around the house she's fearless she is cute but I wish she would calm down.

I have been on to Amazon. My son gave me an early christmas present a kindle fire HD pad. So I have been looking at the ebooks. Lots of good books with good low prices or free, I love reading and the TV is sometimes rubbish. It stops me getting bored whilst there is no tennis.
